guys, I asked for an message when this game will be full, because i dont visit this forum too often.
I am interrested in playing but since the time i have signed in there have been few months and 7 pages of lack of decision. That's why i asked for above.
Looks like finally game is ready (i hope rules on previous page are final), so I will need a little time to prepare my race.
p.s.
If I understand good we are playing incognito ?
That means i need to generate some random race name ?

Just use any AI race name, that should be sufficient to throw off the blood hounds.

I've recd messages from all players and I expect the last few races will be submitted in the next 24 hours.
If anyone wants to make any changes to their submission, feel free.
I'll post when I have genned the game, so you can make changes till that time.
I'll be tentatively genning the universe on the 12th or the 13th... and then send it on to Ron.
Let Ron decide if he wants to show you some love by hosting it on the 14th  .

Standard cheat disclaimer
--Chaff allowed
--Split-fleet dodge allowed
--Heal after gating allowed
--Everything else under the "Player Exploitable Bugs" section of the Known Bugs list is cheating
Just reread the list and spotted two that I don't think are handled by this game:
- ISB trumps IT gate scanning
I presume we're not banning ISB???
- Mine Damage Allocation
I'd not consider this a cheat, unlike Mine Damage Dodge. If you have a DD and a fuel ship (a not unreasonable combination) then the only choice you have is which design has a lower slot number. That affects whether you "Dodge" or "Allocate" the damage.
I'm going to propose (in the bar) that ISB>IT be removed from "player exploitable", and that Allocation be described as not a bug.

Good point about the ISB thing being in the player exploitable list. I did not intend to ban ISB for this game. If anyone made their race under the assumption that ISB was banned, and would like an opportunity to revise, please let nmid know.
Regarding mine damage: A player has exploited the mine damage distribution of the game engine if he triggers a minefield hit with a mixed-design fleet that did not take the full damage of the minefield hit. Intentional exploits of this usually involve merging a single lower-slot chaff with a higher-slot sweeper, but for our purposes intent is irrelevant. Any minefield hit that makes some of the damage "disappear" is an instance of exploitation and should be brought to the attention of the host. The host will require the offending player to scrap sufficient ships in the exploiting fleet to make up the "disappeared" damage. The offending player will tell the host which ships he is scrapping, and the host will relay that information to players who have current scans of the fleet (including ship design details only for players who know the ship design already). Since these communications may take time and may impact decisions made by the other players, the host may extend the turn deadline in these cases.
Please try not to exploit mine damage. It can happen unintentionally, but if you do it over and over we will love you just a little bit less.

Going through the pre-gen settings for the game, I noticed that I was one race short.
Relooking at the player list, I realised I mixed up grzeg-t and kicks...
I did not send grzeg a reminder message earlier... sent it to kicks by mistake.
I've now sent the reminder message to grzeg-t and I would like to wait till the weekend.
Has anyone been in touch with grzeg-t since his last message?

I could not join the first game in november because I spent out the weekend and it would have delayed the game.
This is disappointing, 'cause we have turned the tables.

Game 2 will also require a hold this coming w/end - sorry about that...
XAPBob wrote on Tue, 18 February 2014 19:37Unfortunately we've all been sent files from the wrong gen... - nmid will be regenning in his morning (he's been having PC/router isssues)
XAPBob wrote on Tue, 18 February 2014 21:54we will, he just sent us all 2400 as well as sending to Ron
That's when I realised he'd used an older version of my race. 20% triimmune AR
Really XAPBob? So how come nmid hasn't said anything about the host and himself both coincidentally 'having PC/router issues' at the same time? Even if they really were having issues how would you know about it and why should you be the one to communicate this news? You're not the moderator.
As far as I'm concerned the moderator has emailed all our ATSR files for turn one so obviously there's nothing wrong with his PC/router, and now we're just waiting for the game to be posted on Autohost.
Your gamesmanship is weak, it's too late to change your race now, and your crack about the triimmune AR just was not funny. Have a nice day

Regardless of XAPBob's gamesmanship (is there such word?), the game is broken. I have received a wrong race, tri-immune CA, and I'm 100% sure that's not what I sent. It also means I know someone's design, and I assume someone else could see my race.
